Alexandra and Gina are going to Blogger Bash NYC!!

We are so excited to share with our readers that Alexandra and Gina are going to the first annual Blogger Bash in NYC this Thursday (7/17) and Friday (7/18)! As soon as we found out about Blogger Bash and saw that it was in NYC we knew that we had to go! We both love NYC and it is only a short trip from where we live in New Jersey. Blogger Bash is a two day event for bloggers, brands, PR professionals, and more to help create new partnerships and networks. Keep reading to find out about our agenda for the two days of Blogger Bash! We are so excited to be attending!

Blogger Bash is starting off on Thursday with Sweet Suite hosted by The Big Toy Book! Sweet Suite is divided into areas of play which are sponsored by some of the biggest names in the toy industry! We will be able to explore everything and test out all of the products as well as making connections and enjoying sweet treats. We are so excited that this event is so hands on and not just watching toy demos. We will get to have fun and try out products! We are also looking forward to being able to meet representatives from all of these companies as well as meet and form relationships with other bloggers! Sweet Suite has so many amazing sponsors that we cannot wait to meet! Some of them are in the photo below!

After Sweet Suite the night doesn't end! We are able to attend the Angry Birds Stella After Party which is hosted by Rovio Entertainment Ltd! We will get to enjoy NYC themed food and signature Stella cocktails! We will also get to check out the new game that will feature Stella and her friends!

On Friday we have a full agenda packed with fun and informational events!
